Overview

AppAssure™ is advanced data protection that unifies backup, replication and recovery in one, easy-to-use software solution. Go further than simply protecting the data that makes up your digital world on virtual, physical and cloud environments with the AppAssure ability to provide near continuous access to data after an incident, keeping your business productive. Plus, you have complete confidence that the data you’re backing up will be restorable with the AppAssure ability to test file system as well Microsoft® Exchange™ and SQL Server™ application consistency. And once data has been backed up, you have the flexible restore capabilities that will match the needs of your business. For ultimate assurance, you can take advantage of the built-in AppAssure ability to continually send updates to a virtual machine that can be activated in case of emergency.

Protect your workloads on virtual machines, physical servers, and in the cloud.

Use a single application for fast, reliable backup, replication, and restores of your organization’s critical data. Up to 288 block-level snapshots a day provide recovery point objectives (RPOs) of up to five minutes and near instant RTOs to ensure you always have access to your business-critical systems.

Restore operations almost instantly with a recovery time objective (RTO) of minutes.

With the AppAssure Live Recovery capability, you can have near continuous access to the data you’ve protected. You can resume the use of an impacted server directly from the backup file without waiting for the production server to have a complete restore.

Perform automated recovery testing and verification of backups.

Have certainty that the data you back up is recoverable with the AppAssure Verified Recovery capability. AppAssure performs automated nightly mount checks of file systems, Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server instances. If a problem is found with corrupt data or application data that will prevent these from being mounted, you are alerted. This gives you time to correct the issues before you need to restore the data after an incident.

Restore a single file, message, or data object to a complete machine.

Restore data at any level, from a single file, message or data object, to a complete machine (physical or virtual), even to dissimilar hardware with the AppAssure Universal Recovery capability. The data can be restored to any supported system: physical, virtual, or cloud environments, enabling local, offsite or disaster recovery.

Recover from disasters by creating virtual standby VMs.

Continually send updates to a virtual machine that can be activated in case there’s an issue with the primary machine using the AppAssure Virtual Standby feature. When the primary machine is restored, you are able to fail back with all the changes that were sent to the standby VM.
